We have not had other reports of this.
Do you have any anti virus software running?
Thanks George. Great answers as always.
I am getting those hung sxe.tmp processes even when deployment
completes properly though (Vista Home Premium SP2, 32-bit). They block
the next deployment until I End Process via Task Manager.
There is a second process that waits on them named
projectname.Installer.exe. If I kill the SXE process this goes away
though.
Any hints at all? Nobody else reporting this?

Sorry to repeat things already answered, but I did try searches first at
least!
Working with the demo/eval tools right now.
1. Any pointers on or links to general guidance on when to use AddObject
vs. CreateObject()? AddObject appears to be related to *controls* and
not plain COM classes, but that seems overly simplistic so I'm probably
wrong.
You're right. AddObject lets you create visual controls which have
events that go back to your program. CreateObject is more limited.
2. Current script runtime: has the CreateObject()-related memory leak
ever been addressed? Is it truly related to using Set X = Nothing or a
general problem with object disposal (i.e. including object references
going out of scope)?
CreateObject is built into VBScript. We always use AddObject - we have
not investigated CreateObject.
3. Anyone have sample code or a wrapper component that will open a COM
IStream on a file and return it as an object? I'd need to close the
IStream and dispose of it cleanly (no leaks) as well.
The SFStream object does this:
http://www.newobjects.com/pages/ndl/StoragesAndFiles/SFStream.htm
It's included in the NewObjectsPack1 control which ships with NS Basic.
4. Anyone have anything lighter than MGCEWin32 for basic clipboard
access? At least Unicode text but preferably files (from Explorer)
as well.
I would use the Clipboard control in the Win32API control:

MGCEWin32 is no longer supported. It might be possible to do this using
API functions as well.

5. Can NS Basic/CE accept vbs modules (.bas) obfuscated as .vbe using
the MS Script Encoder (SCRENC.EXE)? Also, what are .cod modules? Yes,
I realize compiled programs obfuscate my code and I realize .vbe is
weak obfuscation.
.COD modules are normal text files with code in them. They are simply
merged into the main module at runtime. If you want your code encrypted,
using the Encrypt option in Project Properties. .vbe is not supported.
6. Basic.WM.cab is only needed to deploy the IDE to the device... is
that correct? TechNote 23 seems to be woefully out of date, I have no
BASIC.PocketPC4_ARM.cab in my dev system's folder indicated in that
article. When/how do I use the Extra Feature Installers (menu in
desktop dev. IDE)?
You're right - Tech Note 23 is due for an overhaul. Version 8 of NS
Basic automatically builds an installer for your program, so you no
longer have to mess with things like BASIC.PocketPC4_ARM.cab.
7. I end up with sxe.tmp processes on the desktop that I have to
kill off using Task manager. I assume this relates to aborted/pending
deployment attempts?
Looks like it.
8. Is it practical and safe to detect available device display
resolution and resize Forms (moving/resizing controls) at runtime? Is
it practical to create programs that can sense and work properly on both
WinMobile Std and Pro (i.e. touchscreen and no touchscreen)?
Yes, it's reasonable to resize at runtime based on the actual screen
size. This kind of thing is done a lot.
NS Basic does not support non-touchscreen devices. They gave pretty much
died out in the marketplace.
Thanks for any input, please feel free to direct me to TechNotes (same
ones *again* if required). Answer any you can, I know I have quite a
list here.
